The Cascadia Paradox: Mantle flow and slab fragmentation in the Cascadia subduction system

Journal of Geodynamics, 2016
Abstract The pattern of mantle flow in subduction systems and the processes that control the mantle flow field represent fundamental but still poorly understood aspects of subduction dynamics. The Cascadia subduction zone is a compelling system in which to understand the controls on mantle flow, especially given the dense geophysical observations ...

Cascadia: Subduction and People

Elements, 2022
The well-studied Cascadia subduction zone has enriched our general understanding of global subduction zones. This Elements issue explores the interconnected set of processes that link geodynamics, tectonics, and magmatism at depth and the surface expressions of these processes, which shape the landscape and give rise to natural hazards in the Cascadia ...

Seismicity in Cascadia

Lithos, 2019
Abstract We examine spatio-geometric patterns in the density of seismicity within the Cascadia forearc to gain insight into controls on seismogenesis. Tremor epicenters exhibit the most regular distribution defining a 40–80 km wide band extending along almost the entire convergent margin from the southern terminus of Gorda plate subduction in ...

Crustal Architecture of the Cascadia Forearc

Science, 1994
Seismic profiling data indicate that the thickness of an accreted oceanic terrane of Paleocene and early Eocene age, which forms the basement of much of the forearc beneath western Oregon and Washington, varies by approximately a factor of 4 along the strike of the Cascadia subduction zone.

Cascadia

Proceedings of the 6th international conference on Mobile systems, applications, and services, 2008
Cascadia is a system that provides RFID-based pervasive computing applications with an infrastructure for specifying, extracting and managing meaningful high-level events from raw RFID data. Cascadia provides three important services. First, it allows application developers and even users to specify events using either a declarative query language or ...

Cascadia Community College: Finding the “Cascadia way”

New Directions for Higher Education, 2004
AbstractFew are challenged to create a general education curriculum for a new college, applying best practices while achieving articulation and accreditation of the program.

Probing the Southern Cascadia Plate Interface With the Dense Amphibious Cascadia Initiative Seismic Array

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2021
AbstractFault coupling is vital in determining the amount of strain that is accumulated along faults. The magnitude and location of stored elastic strain energy in highly coupled regions has important implications for understanding the full range of slip behavior at plate boundary faults, as well as earthquake and tsunami hazards.
